Interesting... I very well could have endo on top of everything else. I have all the classic symptoms, and there are many times I question if I'm having "belly cramps" or "period cramps"... what a pain!
My D&C is one week from today-- the 12th. My husband is taking the morning off work and my Mom is coming to town as well. She's a nurse, so I like having her close by...
So, if I had endo, wouldn't all of my symptoms have gotten better with all the differnt pills I've tried? strange...
It's realy getting old to have pain and cramps in the same area and have no idea which problem it is related to. The bleeding has settled down the past few weeks, but everytime i say that, it comes back with a vengence!
My doc did say that if the D&C doesn't give me the relief I need, he is willing to put in an IUD. Usually they don't do that unless you've had a child, which I have not. However, it is possible and will work just as well, but with a few more cramps at the beginning than other women experience. Hopefully this will help, though, and I won't need the IUD. Although my husband and I are not planning to have children for a few more years, it's strange to think about a form of birth control that lasts years....
Well, thanks for all of your help! You're the best!
